Our annual Photo and Video Contest brought together another incredible collection of moments that celebrate what makes our communities feel at home. From everyday memories to unforgettable experiences, residents shared photos and videos that captured the people, places, and moments that make their communities special.
With submissions flowing in daily over the past month, we gathered over 1,000 incredible entries, each offering its own unique and personal perspective. Our judges had the difficult task of selecting this year's standout entries that captured the love and passion all our residents have for their communities. We are grateful to every resident who participated and helped make this year's contest another memorable celebration of our NALS life.
Now, it's time to recognize this year's winners. Join us in congratulating our grand prize winners, runner-up winners, and honorable mentions in our 2026 My NALS Life: Video & Photo Contest!
